Ying Yang (杨莹)
Pyraminx · top 5.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016YANG64
Ying Yang (杨莹) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.38, set at Nanjing Spring 2018, puts her in the top 5.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 597th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2016, she has put 64 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 6 DNFs. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 4.67 in September 2017 to 3.38, a 28% improvement. Ying has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
